The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mall announces the receipt of an im perfal edict dated August 2, ordering Gen- eral Yung Lu to select high military and civil dignitarics, together with a sufficient number of picked troops, to escort the for- efgn ministers to Tien Tsin as soon as they decided to leave Pekin. By the terms of the edict General Yung Lu will be held personally responsible for their safety, and he fs glven full authority to deal summarily with those opposing the peaceful passage of the escort “By such acts,” concludes the edict, “do we show our intentions to people from afar and open our bosoms to them." Yokohama advices say that General Terauchi has reported to the Japanese gov- ernment that It 18 not advisable to send more troops to China, declaring that the United States force Is now ample to relleve the foreigners in Pekin Chinese messages assert that in addition to causing the execution of high function- arles of pro-forelgn tendency Li Ping Heng bas impeached Li Hung Chang, Liu Kan Yi, wiceroy of Nankin, and others on a charge of maintaining relations with foreigners. A Tien Tsin dispateh, dated August 1, to Perlin, gives a report of an imperial edict fssued July 27 ordering the recapture of Taku and Tien Tsin by troops from Shan Tung and the scuth. Detalled accounts of the reconnaissance of July 30 say that the enemy's guns that were attacked near Peitsang were only the ad- vanced post and Peitsang, it is believed can only be captured after a hard struggle General G and his staff, accompanied the reconnaissance, but no British troops Wore engag: dated August 4 says: A dispatch to the Morning Post from Che Foo, dated July 30, says The Russians at Tien Tsin refuse to al low the Americans to put up telephone wires on the railroad poles and they claim the railroad wires, which the engineers are ready to work, situation 18 full of railroad sleepers. bodles of Chinese, some floating the stream.’ Four more missionaries, acording to Shanghai advices dated Saturday, have been murdered near Hankow.

NEW RULE FOR PHILIPPINES Taft Co Gover ¢ ur Manila Within Few Weeks, MANILA, Aug. 6.-On September 1 the commission headed by Jndge Taft will be- come the executive body of the Philippines, with power to take and appropriate insular moneys, to establish judicial and educa- tional systems and to make and pass all laws. No money will be permitted to be drawn from the insular fund except by au- thorization of the commission. Judge Taft and his gues will exercise cer- tain legielative functions. For instance, they will appoiut judges, officials in the cducational department and officers of mu- nicipalities, which the commission will establish pending elections. General MacArthur wil be the executlve head to enforce the law of the commission and he will conduct the government in ac- cordance with the same until the commis- sion recommends to President McKin| the appointment of a civil governor.

Rustin, whose death in Nome City July 18 came as a shock to his host of friends and acquaintances in this clty The escort consisted of Mark Coad, Ned French and A. K. Lipe it was the sad mission which prompted thefr return voyage that made them downhearted, rather than dis appolntment over the admittedly discourag. ing conditions existing at Cape Nome. The arrival of Captain Rustiu’s remains was greeted at the depot by a large num- ber of old friends, who embraced the first opportunity presented to pay their respects to the memory of one of Omaha's ploncers The body was received in excellent condi- tion, haviog embalmed and shipped in one of the only two metallic caskets availably in Nome City at the time of the death, The rema taken to the tamily residence, 205 South Thirty-seventh street, from whence the funeral will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

After arriviog at Nome he devoted himself to looking over the situation d making quest for promising mining claims. On Friday, July 13, the captain complained of a slight indisposition and the next day confined to his bed in his tent. Sunday we called in a doctor, but the captain stoutly ijnsisted that he was only temporarily under the weather and t was much against his will that he was removed to a hospital. It shortly developed that he had pneumonia and the following Wednesday he died.” Unprejudiced opinons formed by the re- turned members of the Omaha contingent in Cape Nome indicate that the newest Alaskan gold fields should be shunned by the poor man and the prospector without ample tunds at his command. Messrs. Cond, French, Lipe and Mayor D. C. Giffert of West Point arrived in Nome City about the middle of June. They found a city that had sprung up like mushrooms in the night with & varying population of from 30,000 to 50,000 people. The majority of this popu- lation bad arrived during the spring and discovered that all of the promising gola land had been gobbled up by the men who had been ou the ground at the time and im- mediately subsequent to the first discovery.

I will never forget the sight that first met my e when the famous capital of the new gold flelds came into view. It was snowing heavily, a thick mist had formed and when 1 peered through the atmospheric obstruct- fon and saw nothing but myriads of white tents I couldn't help but shiver for the poor fellows who were sleeping there with such meagre protection. We landed the follow- ing day and everything was hustle and bustle, as was usual the arrival of ry steamer. “After we got our baggage off the vessel and hoisted our tent on the third day, we set out to look the situation over. The principal gold ficlds are along Anvil creek for five miles north of Nome City. Through a mutual friend we were introduced to Mr, Linderburg, one of the original discoverers of the Nome region. It through this acquaintance that we discovered the re- ports of the wonderful richness of the Nome reglon to be unexaggerated. The day we visited his claim a clean-up of the sluice boxes after a thirty-hours’ run netted $13,000. The Ploneer Mining company, of which Linderburg is one of the principal owners, has dy made two shipments this season, each over $100,000. The re- ports of the fabulous wealth of these placer diggings are consequently not overdrawn, but the disappointment came to thousands of gold-seekers upon their arrival in Cape Nome to discover that the entire district for 200 miles In every direction from Cape Nome, Cape York and Port Clarence had already been staked off and located by men who were either on the ground at the time of the first discovery in the winter of 1898 thereafter. The only show the most of the new arrivals had was in wash ing out the sand along the beach, which the government reserved from individual location. While the beach was a free-for all proposition, it was naturally a dead horse, because it had been worked to a trazzle long before the last comers got in. r Chance for M Opportunities for money making Neme City were exceedingly limited, E thing rdone. The big mercantile establishments and the smaller stores which were on the ground early did a good bust but as soon as the arrivals from the frittered away thelr stakes things began to tighten up and money mat- ters were not very flourishing. There are number of fairly substantial frame buildings occupled by stores and saloons, but the people all live in tents n the saloons are losing money, but this Is not surprising, because there are so many of them. Along the main street of the camp I counted fifty-six saloons and some of them had bars and fixtures which were magnifi- cent. “In Nome there are pectors who get there with just enough money to them landed.
